In addition to school supplies, a number of local organizations are offering free vegetables to Montreal families in need to help get the school year off to a good start.
As the school year nears, inflation means that more and more families are struggling to go down their back-to-school shopping list while some charity organizations are struggling to help them.
Two vegetable harvesters in the Montreal area are partnering with a local food bank to provide more organic produce for those in need in the city. Regroupement Partage in Montreal and Groupe Pro-Vert in Mascouche will produce 53 tonnes of veggies on unseeded land to distribute for free to Moisson Montreal.
